1976 Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice — Book Club Edition, Collectible...

When Interview with the Vampire first swept through literary circles in 1976, it seduced readers with more than blood—it asked questions about morality, immortality, and the soul’s thirst for meaning. Anne Rice didn’t just reinvent the vampire; she gave him a conscience.

Once challenged and banned in schools and libraries for its sensuality and religious overtones, Rice’s debut novel blurred the line between sin and salvation, making it a cornerstone of modern Gothic literature.

This book club edition shows signs of its own haunting history:

Water stains on the back of the dust jacket and top page edges (archivally sleeved for protection).

A dragon stamp on the front end page, like a secret signature from a past life.

No marginal notes, clean interior—ready for reading or display.

Though not pristine, it’s philosophically perfect—a reminder that great art endures, even when weathered by time and controversy.

💭 Is immortality a blessing or a curse? Rice’s vampires aren’t monsters—they’re mirrors.
